Winning in gambling will make your mood happy just as we get some rewards and we feel happy. These feelings are so great and we feel so energic and positive.
However, once we start to lose in gambling, we slowly move towards the sadness phase. If the loss continues and we keep on losing the money, eventually it can lead to depression.
Yes, I understand that depression is a very severe stage and it won't come at once if you are a new gambler but if you are not a responsible gambler, it is very easy for the gambler to lose his emotions and become depressed in life. Focus on other entertainment other than gambling for some time can be helpful in relaxing our mind and regrouping again to come back strongly in gambling with a strong emotion.
It depends on your motive for gambling some people gamble to make money while some gamble for fun, they are not really after the money. For those that gamble for the money it is easier for them to get sad when they are losing money and these are the only set of people that may get depressed after losing a bet while those who gamble for fun are not really bothered about anything.
Gambling is not supposed to be taken too seriously because of it’s uncertainty, nothing is guaranteed and it has a 50/50 chance of success. Involving one’s emotions to gambling is a very terrible idea, it will always lead to bad decisions and can also lead to addiction. Another important tip is to always gamble money you can afford to lose so you don’t feel bad when you lose.
